A list of upcoming morris ales
Ales were annual springtime celebrations which attracted folks from all over
a shire. From the 17th thru 19th centuries they were held at numerous
locations around England. Morris was one of the centerpiece sports at
the ales. These 20th century ales revive the conditions under which the morris
thrived.
This is a list of upcoming morris events which have been generally announced.
Nothing here should be considered as authoritative.
Listing of an event here does not imply that it is open to all.
Contact the person mentioned in each case to get full details.
Folks nearer to the UK will want to look

This list is for those events where I have detailed information.
